Hello, my name is Chi K. Lai. As other kids, I had a lot of dreams but my unfortunate fate was always my excuse of not making it come true. I admired people working in lab, and loved seeing them in lab coat, and goggles. My childhood was full of wonders of how they made it, how it happens, why this not that occurs…That is how my passion of Chemistry was nurtured. However, life is not that simple. I could not do the things I like. The financial difficulty of my family pushed me in an absolutely opposite direction, Education. After four years at University of Education with full scholarship in Vietnam, I got a Bachelor’s Degree. But my passion for Chemistry was still burning. After graduating, I went to work and tried to save as much I can. And now with my saving and financial support from Mom and Dad, I finally get into the road I really want to travel in. About 7 years and a half to wait for this opportunity could be long to someone, but for me it was an interesting journey that I never forget in my life. I studied very hard to maintain the full scholarship without which I could not continue my school at that time, and I also worked very hard to save money for such dream of coming back to school. All have made me mature and I appreciate what I am doing right now, that is the chance to go for my passion of Chemistry to become a Chemical Engineer in 4 years. I would like to say that it is AWESOME to do the thing I love. I like this feeling!!! :)
